Ineffable Inventory

Take stock of yourself and discover you include: the evanescent sigh over a desert at night the breath of fog exhaled by a deep morning forest the silent beauty of a star-distant sky the ceaseless mystery settled across a tranquil sea, the quiet tenderness of a nursing infant, the profound question in a whale's eye the murmurs hovering over a sacred river the unimaginable power in the heart of God the infinite grace of Jesus the Buddha's smile limitless peace universal light love itself you
